Hey are pig spotters any use? I like the look of them over the mirrors sticking out, but do they do any good?

from what I've seen no... they're just for looks... just to fill the requirement to have mirrors. that's it

damn. ok. I don't think MO requires mirrors. Its either none or just the left. I want them though, and was hoping these would be usable and useful.

Damnit!!! Too much odd ball information. I hear it's got a good powerband I hear the powerband sucks. I like a more midrange torqy powerband but like the high revs of the inline 4s.

I know GSXRs don't have a powerband I like. So who would? Honda or Kawasaki or are they all power at the very top? What about the Triumph 675. Some joker on a GSXR600 said it didn't feel more powerful than his bike.

I guess I need a GSXR750 or fuck it I'd hate to say it but a Litre.

Now you're talking. Actually if you want a medium displacement engine with very good torque, you should check my my bike. Kawi Z750s. From what you describe you would love the power band.

It's an excellent powerband, just not the kind you are looking for
